Travel Resources

The tools and reading that go with a paid guide: booking mechanics, seat and room choices, safety copies, and what to do when a leg collapses. Everything here is used on our own trips — the flight and hotel hacks, the refund process when a booking fails, and the seat-level question of who actually gets the swap.

Start with the destination-agnostic items: scams and safety, hotel upgrades, and a paper copy of the itinerary. Then add the country-specific reads from travel resources once the dates are firm. Nothing here requires a subscription or a phone signal.
